This song was recorded & performed January 21st in Tyler’s bedroom as a last minute get together before our show that night @ the New Orleans Howlin’ Wolf. It had been written just a couple days before then and we wanted to take some time to work out some parts before the show. Luckily, Cody from http://www.goodmusicallday.com had his camera on him and managed to catch it. Enjoy! Let us know what you think
Hey guys,
We’ve had a really great week on tour so far with our best buds Caddywhompus. After spending a rowdy New Year’s Eve playing a house party in Austin, we woke up the next morning and decided to shoot a video in front of some of the debris. Included is the scorched carcass of a couch that got incinerated (and got the fire department called) on the bonfire.
It was pretty nuts. Big thanks to T, Trevs, and Sean for helping us and the rest of the Chinquapin fam make New Years 2012 in Austin a night never to forget. Also THX CHRIS REHM and Harrison Smith for editing this sweet video.
Hope you enjoy! If you’d like a copy of the audio for jamming purposes, use the link below.

Also! We’ve got some new t-shirts available up online at our store! Give them a look and buy one if you’d like! We’ll be sure to ship em out to you real quick like regardless of whether or not we’re still on the road.
Thanks for listening!

Dear Friends,
We just got back from our band vacation to Florida! We ate mad sandwiches, swam in pools, rivers, and oceans, and didn’t even get a sunburn. We even managed to play a few shows in-between! Check out Devin’s tour recap video from the whole week:
In other news, we just got our very own Pandora Station! Check it out right here and get really confused by the related artists.
Thanks for reading!

House parties! ( 2 )
Third time in Tallanasty, third house party show with Spencer.
This house was PACKED. Everything unfolded as it should, pure debauchery.
Until the po-digs rolled in and laid down the law. After multiple warnings, orders were to stop the music totally.
Spencer Darr to the rescue – epic announcement that the party is being completely transported to another house a few blocks away.
Thus, second house party! Also packed and raging as ever. Caddy set up and lit the room on fire. We set up and got 3 songs in before the police came again and busted it down.
Party in Tallanasty 4ever.
2 more nights!

Savannah was slow, Jacksonville ruled so hard.
Fell behind schedule with the videos for many reasons, so two days in one this time.
Savannah looks a lot like New Orleans. We had a brief while to walk around and hang with Chris’ awesome sister, Celia, then hit the venue.
The Wormhole. Pretty cool place, and new, apparently. We spent the pre-show hours making burritos, enjoying 1$ tall boy PBRs, and watching American Psycho and Labyrinth.
The crowd was thin, but we did meet a couple new good friends that we lead to our show by our good blogger buddy, Thomas Dorton.
Jacksonville was AWESOME. Our best best friend Kayla Green welcomed us in and showed us the best sandwiches (Angie’s) we have ever laid stomachs upon.
The venue that night, Jack Rabbit’s, was dark, spacious, a little over-priced, and had awesome sound.
The crowd was party hungry and heart-warming.We will definitely be coming back to Jacksonville.
Afterwards, we lost all good intentions and got sloppy playing beer pong and jamming to really bad music.
And now we’re Tallahassee getting ready to play at the raddest house party place there is, Spencer’s House.
(Only 3 more nights)

Small bar, cold as F, motel.
Sorry the video may be boring today. To be frank, not that much happened. The views on the ride were pretty awesome, though.
We got to town around 8 or 9. Hungry, we conveniently found a highly revered restaurant (The Grit) right next door to the venue and ate, almost definitely, the best meal of tour.
We were the last 2 of 4 bands, so we got to hang out a lot. It was a very small bar, but looked awesome. Super-disco.
The crowd was thin but among those there were 4 good folks who came all the way from Atlanta just to see Caddywhompus. Friendliest guys. Warmed my heart.
At the end of the night, we were left with no options for a sleeping place. We got lost for a while, then crammed into a room at the Days Inn.
I slept in my sleeping bag under the sink, usually that’d be very comfortable for me, but this was the first night I didn’t really sleep much.
It’s ok though, this is so awesome.
hugs

House party!
First off, I’m pretty pissed at how difficult it is to upload videos on the road. You would think the internet is everywhere by now, right?
Anyway, sorry the videos aren’t really on time now. : x
So, this day started with us leaving Fayetteville early; the drive was about 5 hours to Memphis. We left our kisses and thanks to Chris’ brother and friends and got on the road as soon as we could after the most AWESOME breakfast burritos I’ve ever had.
After that it was on to Memphis and we all had a ball for sure! Thanks everyone who came out.

Battle with tuna can, discovery of rice cooker and burritos, fun fun fun show, learned to love Little Rock.
First thing on the list was to re-stock food supply.
Wal-Mart. Picnic. Al sort of had a hard time.
Then to Little Rock. None of us had ever even spent time in Arkansas before.
After serving up some of the finest scratch burritos any of us had seen, on the downtown streets, we loaded in and checked out the venue.
Very welcoming, a community arts center with concerts in the basement. Everyone there was really nice, and all the kids came out and made it a real fun and comfy show.
Partied after. Chris Rehm provided most of the entertainment. Curled up on the most comfortable wooden floor I’ve ever slept on.
Please, no comments on the final clip of this video.
Happy New Years Eve! We’re in Fayetteville, AR playing tonight.
